Defence Industry Europe exposed the problem encountered by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) when advanced anti-tank missiles are being used against villages on the Lebanese and Gaza frontlines. An attack on Saturday by Hezbollah in Lebanon on the Israeli Air Force (IAF) main radar station, which controls most of the aerial traffic in Israel, proved that the problem has to be addressed as soon as possible. The IAF main radar station on Mount Meron in Northern Israel was attacked by the longer-range version of the Kornet anti-tank missile. The Kornet-EM anti-tank missile has a range of up to 10 km and rides on a jam-resistant laser beam.
